[Free Methodist] Bible Quizzing. Are you familiar with this concept? I wasn’t either until I started dating Kevin a few months into our freshmen year of college, and he was recounting stories of his Bible Quizzing days. Then I began attending monthly quizzes along with him as he quizmastered. I worked my way into the […]
The One with Organized Baking
Sometimes, I just need to organize. It’s amazing how cluttered one’s drawers and cupboards and hiding spaces can become over many months. Though most people would have probably still identified my baking cupboard as “organized” I knew, deep down, it needed some serious attention. I have accumulated a massive amount of baking mix-ins (mostly chocolate)–semi […]
The One with the Moving Conundrum
Apartment hunting is a whole lot more challenging than it would seem. Google apartment listings. Visit a few units. Choose your favorite. Move in. Right? Not so much. First of all, the town we are moving to is an adorable little village, but because of its small size there aren’t any listings on apartments.com and other […]
The One with My Daddy
My dad has always been my hero. He’s stronger than any other dad, loves me more than I can know. He’s given me my passion for Italian food and snow. Though I’m grown and gone away, I’ll never be too old for a hug and kiss, a helpful hand, a word on being bold. I […]
The One With Time Changes
It’s a precious thing watching as time changes so much, yet protects the most important pieces of life. God is so good. He knew seven years ago how I would be blessed year after year by this beautiful group of women who just happened to be my dorm floor-mates. Four years of college, four years […]
The One with the Mother of Productivity
If I wondered before, I wonder no more. I am addicted to productivity because I am my Mother’s daughter. There are definite cons to this drive of constant accomplishment. But we won’t go into those right now. I just have to be thankful for the great team my mom and I have made these past […]
The One with the 16 Hours of Non-Stop
My mom arrived right in the middle of the chaos that was my life Thursday. (And now, I shall depict the precise reasons for the craziness.) After a cycling bike workout, starting a load and a half of laundry, and compiling a grocery list, we headed to the church to pick up 15 bags of […]
The One with the Sleepy Rambles of the Day
I was a busy little bee today. Slept in all the way to 7am because I needed it. Couldn’t sleep last night. Too hot. Mind overfilled with racing thoughts. Finished a good run even if it was a bit slow. Starting going a million miles an hour, rushing to keep up with the tasks my […]
The One Where She Feels the Burn
Kevin has been calling me his lobster for the past few days. And not just because we’re each other’s lobsters according to Phoebe. I got myself nice and burnt to a crisp. Thursday afternoon, right before leaving for our church’s Annual Conference, I decided to enjoy the sun and a good book. I was reading […]
The One with the Colorful Deals
What a gorgeous morning it has been. Cool temperatures. Blue skies. A cute long sleeve light weight orange shirt courtesy of the Girls Clothes Swap. And shorts. And flats. But on top of all of that wonderfulness, there were deals to be had at the grocery stores! On my quick trip through my first grocery love, […]
